Review of 'Splendid' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

1.5

The hero in this book is like Anthony Bridgerton turned up to 11 with zero redeeming qualities. The heroine was pretty decent though even if she was a hilarious fiery-tempered American with red hair and ~violet~ eyes.

A fair bit more interested in her cousin Belle, though.
